The whole family is home for Christmas.
We woke this morning to rain but by the time we finished opening
presents and playing a few games it had begun to snow.
Great big beautiful flakes that just called for us to go out for a walk.
Two of my daughters hadn’t visited Fairy Lane since it’s creation
so off we went trekking to the woods.

But we didn’t go empty handed.
My oldest daughter made a gift for the fairies – little stockings to keep
their feet toasty.
We carefully strung them on a clothesline and hung them from the bark.
Two lines were hung over doors, one at each end of Fairy Lane.
The fairies are sure to find them.
We watched for a while but couldn’t spy any of them.
But our dog spent a lot of time sniffing around. Could it be she could sense
the fairies were about?
I don’t know but others were looking too because we saw other gifts
left in the woods.
A red heart hung in a tree.
And a little green nutcracker keeping guard by one of the doors.
It’s nice to know that others are thinking of the fairies too.
